The Beauty of Chalk<br />
<strong>Sassnitz</strong> harbour city is the birthplace of the healing chalk.<br />
Presumably as early as 1910 the chalk had been used for<br />
therapeutic treatments. When in 1932 scientific proofs had<br />
been made about its use and effects, the path was open<br />
for medical use of the snow-white material. In 1935 the<br />
harbour city officially became “chalk healing spa”. From<br />
1945 to 1963 Dr. Friedrichkarl Wünn had applied chalk<br />
treatments in the local hospital as part of health cures. The<br />
association “Rügener Heilkreide e.V.” was founded in 2000<br />
and successfully reanimated chalk treatments. Its members<br />
spread the knowledge of the use and effects of this natural<br />
and regional healing material. Today healing chalk is used<br />
again in numerous institutions for health and beauty. On<br />
Jasmund peninsula there are the famous chalk cliffs and<br />
close to <strong>Sassnitz</strong> the raw material is quarried and prepared.<br />
The Rugian healing chalk consists of 98 percent calcium<br />
carbonate. Visitors and natives enjoy it in baths, packs,<br />
masks or peelings. Depending on the treatment, chalk may<br />
stimulate circulation, metabolism and care for purification.<br />
A chalk treatment indulges the senses and is an experience<br />
belonging to every holiday stay on the island. As a warming<br />
pack it prepares the body for a massage, it may alleviate<br />
skin problems and cares for the acid–base homeostasis.<br />
Physiotherapist Schneider in Kurhotel <strong>Sassnitz</strong> for instance<br />
uses chalk. Arcus, sales partner for Kreidewerk Rügen<br />
GmbH, offers “Original Rügener Dreikronen Heilkreide”<br />
and a wide range of natural cosmetics developed out of<br />
chalk.<br />

reist, kann sie mit allen Sinnen kennen<br />
lernen. im Kreidemuseum gummanz lernt er<br />
etwas über die entstehung, den Abbau und<br />
die Fossilien der Kreide. Bei einem Spaziergang<br />

vom Deck eines Ausflugsschiffes aus erlebt<br />
er ihre landschaftliche Schönheit. ihre wohltuende<br />
Wirkung auf den Körper spürt er bei<br />
